WW and JohnnyBG,

FYI - a hard plastic cricket basket is ideal size for the wicking tube, can support a full load of planting mix in a self-watering 18 gal Rubbermade box, with no leakage of mix into the water chamber.

Can get them at most fishing tackle shops for less than 3 bucks. I get mine at Bass Pro Shop and at Academy Sports here in Dallas.
